TEST DRIVE

Maybe you've been here for a while, or maybe you just got here. Either way, you're all in the same situation - you've been turned into a magical gemstone and stranded in a foreign world! And all you've been left with is the clothes on your back, stripped of all powers except one.

Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

How this works:

☆ This is a test drive for [community profile] cosmographia, which means you should get a little familiar with the setting and premise.

☆ Otherwise, this is just meant to help you feel out how you may play and serves mainly as a chill interest gathering and get together kind of post! No app necessary, and you don't need to play in this post to apply - or vice versa.

☆ Everybody is welcome! There are no character limitations; pg au oc canon pigeon whatever. Just toss up a topcomment and/or jump any threads that pique your interest.

☆ Rules-wise: Be cool to yourself and others, and keep in mind the other game rules too.

☆ If you do apply to the game and are accepted, and you want to keep the CR, you may so long as what you did isn't setting breaking and everyone involved agrees.


YOUR OPTIONS:

☆ You find yourself in the Heart of a ruined temple. There is a large glowing gem that thrums with some kind of rhythm, and jewels scattered all over the room, kept in strange bubbles. At the very least, touching the large gem will give you a standard info-dump, but some of you might be a little cautious about touching weird luminescent gems. Good thing that there are other people there too!

☆ Or perhaps you already know everything there is to know, and are there in the Heart of the Ruined Temple to greet new arrivals. Or perhaps you simply had business there already, like storing away a corrupted gem from a monster, when someone new seemingly dropped in from no where.

☆ It's Farmer's Market day in the plaza of Waverly Bay! Perhaps you're there perusing the goods and strike up conversation, or accidentally bump into someone and get to know them that way. It's a fairly standard day.

☆ There's an event! You don't really know what else to call them - missions, perhaps? But something in the temple was triggered, and the glowy Heart gem has something new to "tell" you: If you want a new power, you should try telling other people two truths and a lie. Those who you interact with must try and divine the lie from your statements.

You have no idea how something this simple will get you a power, but hey.

I need a CD player! Or even a tape player would do! And then a recording of the readings, and maybe someday a new deck...!
telepathetically: looking at Haruki. confused/kinda worried (BIG WORDS)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
People still use CD players?
cardofhearing: (As I wait for one who will never come)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I need one with good speakers! A portable player wouldn't work, and what's more, how am I supposed to get the recordings on it from all the way out here?! Ahhh... Being here to be a superhero is so cool, but being independent is surprisingly tough!
telepathetically: looking to the side and talking. making a statement/loudly wondering (my tinkernails are pink)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
What kind of music do you even need to listen to that badly?
cardofhearing: (May my sighs be blamed upon the moon)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Not for music, for karuta! I don't think I'll be able to find a reader all the way out here, so, I need a recording of the poems...
telepathetically: (hand me that bowl of pizzas)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Does that need a professional reader? It's not like anyone is BUSY.
cardofhearing: (like the moon hidden behind the clouds)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Someone who hasn't played karuta before would probably have trouble with the timing...

[but]

[stares at him hopefully???]
telepathetically: (speed enfoced by alligator)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
...buy me candy and I'll try.
cardofhearing: (The world offers no escape)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'll buy it! I'll definitely buy it! Thank you...!!
cardofhearing: (while I am still happy)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Ayase Chihaya! Tell me what you want!
telepathetically: (what's a 69?)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Shirakawa Yuki and I like chocolate.
cardofhearing: (Since I could not hide my love)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yuki-kun!

[buying him chocolate and shoving it towards him-- her gem is on the middle knuckle of her right index finger, as an aside]

Please accept this!
telepathetically: (A hobo! A space hobo!)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much!

[BETTER EAT FAST she's grabbing for his wrist to drag him towards the temple]

Now, I can teach you how to read the cards! Have you ever played before? Did you school have a karuta club? I can teach you to play!
telepathetically: (we should get tattoos of swords)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't, I don't know if it did I only followed the sports teams??
cardofhearing: (27)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
It may be considered a cultural club, but competitive karuta is very athletic! If you were an athlete it might suit you!
telepathetically: (complicated pajamas)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, um, I was a spectator...
cardofhearing: (Said night was young)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[UNDETERRED]

That's fine too! You can build stamina as you play!
telepathetically: (turn his avacados into guacamole)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
I probably have enough stamina for a card game...
cardofhearing: (Since I could not hide my love)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
We can't play a match until I get a player, but if you're interested, I can teach you the rules! For now, it's all about the reading!
cardofhearing: (be as dear now)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
I can't believe I met such a nice person by chance...!!
telepathetically: (turn his avacados into guacamole)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Nice people don't need to be bribed.
cardofhearing: (Said night was young)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, but! That much chocolate is fine when you have to read for fifty cards!
